Bought 2010 BWM 535 I xdrive in Nov 2018 with 69k miles on it almost 5 years later I have 108k miles...I've had to replace rear window regulator...spark plugs and coil pack..thermostat and water pump..valve cover gasket...starter...battery....display screen (inside vehicle)..fuel pump and fuel pump modular. I love this car great ride...I'm hoping I'll get my money's worth now that I've replaced all these things.

2010 BMW 535xi daily driver

I bought my 2010 535XI at three years old, and with 60000 miles. Wow, I loved this cars performance (especially compared with my 2003 Lexus es300. Car started running really rough after a 4-5 months, and found this fuel injector problem. The problem is, I found the wrong Mechanic first and for 900 bucks if you replaced the injectors which failed four days later. They said it couldn’t be bmw paid that stunk but c’est la vie. Found a really good master mechanic he quickly spotted the injectors problem and the buildup. He cleaned that off replace the injectors and also found a crack in my manifold. So all in between the two mechanics and the two issues it was 2900 bucks not a great start, but still really happy to be in the car. He is a great mechanic and honest love that. The great thing is since 2015 I really haven’t had a single major issue in this car. Love it. Performance is always great cornering etc and N54 is a great solid engine. Bought with 60k miles current 162k. Unfortunately, my transmission has been throwing up some miss-shifts in last 6 months. Only a few, but my mechanic suggested if I drive it aggressively it will start failing sooner rather than later so I baby a little bit especially until it’s warm. Even with 162K the engine sounds as good as it did and a smooth as it did when I bought it. Problem is I don’t drive it like a BMW anymore so it’s time to move on but it’s served me really well and I am hooked on Bimmers. I’m targeting a 2021 M550 as wow that kicks up the adrenaline a notch with 530 hp if I can afford one. Another 540 would be great, but I know the 550 is the one if I can swing it.

I have owned many BMW's over the years and for the mpost part done a great deal of my own repairs. As a rsult two things have happened.I have very intimate undestaing of these cars, isues and strenghts. the 2010 528 i is one of the best i have driven and reliability above average. currently I have 268,000 miles on my vehicle with only one things to repair and thats the oil pan gasket. Because of my knowledge of the car i have done all the required maintenance prior to any knpown issues due to wear and tear or part weakness. to date i have never been stranded and never had a catostophic failure since ownership. if you keep up with the coolant system refresh regularly and tackle the common oil leaks you will enjoy great reliable motoring. FYI I had a 97 e39 5 series before this one and got it to over 500,000 miles so my expectation is to at least match that with the E60
